A current is passed through a resistor and the voltage drop is measured on the other side. It follows Ohm's law by a given current and voltage you can measure the resistance of a resistor by V=IR.

How does an ohm meter work to measure electrical resistance?

An ohm meter works by sending a small amount of electrical current through a material and measuring the voltage drop across it. By using Ohm's Law (VIR), the meter can calculate the resistance of the material based on the current and voltage readings.
